2025 already has its downsides, but it’s also shaping up to be a big year for Southern California open streets festivals. There are eight CicLAvias on the way, and the popular Golden Streets is introducing a new event format.

These events are all free, fun, and family-friendly. Participants can start at any point along the route, and run, walk, skate, roll, etc. as much or as little as you want.

June 22: Mission at Twilight

Coming in June, ActiveSGV’s Active Streets series will convene another iteration of its popular Mission to Mission open streets event – but with a new twist. Instead of getting started in the early morning, Active Streets – Mission at Twilight starts at 3 p.m. and runs until 8 p.m. Don’t forget bike lights! The event is presented by Metro, and hosted by the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG), and the three host cities: Alhambra, San Gabriel, and South Pasadena.

June 22 is basically the longest day of the year, and will also feature – earlier in the day – a CicLAvia in Watts – see below.

February 23: West Adams meets University Park

The first 2025 CicLAvia is less than a month away! CicLAvia – West Adams meets University Park will introduce a brand new route extending just over 4 miles through South Los Angeles.

CicLAvia West Adams meets University Park will run mainly on Jefferson Boulevard, located just north of the Metro E Line. The event is presented by Metro.

Eight CicLAvias in 2025

After February, there are seven more CicLAvias scheduled for 2025 – see full announcement at CicLAvia website. Six are full-scale, two are minis. Some are well loved recurring routes, including Heart of L.A., Venice Boulevard, and Melrose. And some boldly go where no CicLAvia has gone before.

April 6: Koreatown meets Hollywood
May 18: Pico Union CiclaMini
June 22: Historic South Central meets Watts
August 17: Culver City meets Venice
September 14: San Pedro CiclaMini
October 12: Heart of LA
December 7: Melrose Ave
